Simon Kaiwai

Simon is a father and avid researcher dedicated to supporting living solutions.  Of mixed heritage Simon appreciates cultural and natural diversity.  He considers himself a common man (man in common to all others) of the land (tangata whenua).Simon has recently developed an interest in Law (Tikanga, Principles, Maxims, Common law, Legal aka Admiralty law), society and the English language.  His probing led him to experience systematic wrongs performed by sworn members of "The system".  He also experienced the conditioned responses of many whose spirit of freedom, sense of contentedness and morality has been suppressed by "normalization" of the unnatural.  These insights are now shared for the benefit of all.  "Once we accept that man-kind has been gifted free-will we can be confident that we are co-creators of society. There is therefore no reason to fear our own hand and every reason to give our life's energy in service to the calling of our heart. Through personal responsibility society will emulate the beauty of the natural world, an inevitable change that will happen in one righteous moment."  Simon Kaiwai November, 2010

DOES Z'S SURVIVAL MATTER?

You keep coming back for a reason: serious political analysis, movement reporting, and debate beyond the priorities of corporate media. Today, Z is in a precarious financial position. If Z is part of how you understand the world, help keep it going. The readers who give monthly are the reason this work survives between fundraisers.

CRITICAL ACTION

Critical Action is a longtime friend of Z and a music and storytelling project grounded in liberation, solidarity, and resistance to authoritarian power. Through music, narrative, and multimedia, the project engages the same political realities and movement traditions that guide and motivate Z’s work.

If this project resonates with you, you can learn more about it and find ways to support the work using the link below.

Z is in the most precarious financial position in its history.

Z is a place to think beyond the limits of the present.

For decades, Z has brought together political analysis, movement reporting, debate, and visions of a different future from writers and activists around the world. That work is more than journalism. It is movement infrastructure: movements need places to develop ideas, test arguments, learn from experience, and imagine what comes next.

In the first two days of this fundraiser, 19 donors and 8 new monthly sustainers stepped up. Help us reach 1,000 donors who keep Z independent, for everyone.

For decades, Z has published the analysis, debate, and visions movements need, free of paywalls, ads, and billionaire owners. If that work should continue, Z needs your support now.
